MY FAVOURITE JOKE
wednesday...early...
so i've had a good sleep..at last,and am back in the land of the living.
getting away from poker for a minute,thought you might enjoy this little joke.
i'm hoping i can get away with posting it.it's not rude or offensive but it's an over 18's
and only a joke,and as we are all over 18(i hope),i'll give it a go.
i'll set the scene...
A few years ago now about 25 of us or so were all sat around the xmas table at my mums,(our house),yes we have a big family and my mum has quite a few friends that she liked to cook for on xmas day every year.we had all just finished our xmas turkey and puddings,and had had a drink or three,when my uncle Doug tapped his glass with a spoon i guess,and the whole room eventually went quiet.
what happened next...he said...
"'There was this man,he was on the beach,he had no arms & no legs,just a head and a body.
these 3 women walked up to him...
The 1st woman said to him,"have you ever been kissed before?"
"no,...i've never been kissed before"...he said...
so she gave him a kiss.
The 2nd woman says to him,"have you ever been hugged before?"
"no,...i've never been hugged before"he said...
so she gave him a hug.
The 3rd woman says to him "have you ever been fu cked before?"
"no,...i've never been fu cked before" he said....
"you will be in a minute,.. the tides coming in" she said.

back in the saddle.
this is how we started...
won £19.58 WOOOOPEEEE
b/roll £272.72
c4p 1399 - £13.99 to come
raising up 30p every time even remembered to add on 10p when a player limped in
c bet nearly every time. bet flop and river when i thought i was good.
ok so apart from the 1st suck out,i ran pretty descent to be fair,but so happy with how i played as it's without doubt m7 best session to date playing not only nl10 but including all my previous efforts at nl4 too.
night off tonight,goint to enjoy the darts..and a BUD lol
cheers all

Hand 3 - Bigger on the flop, turn is good. Bet/fold the river.
EDIT: THey're only minor observations, definite improvement in sizing.
cheers Paul
hand 2 i bet i bet, river i'm not 100% sure i'm ahead with top pr q kicker sand opponent only has £5 left so thought allin was best play as i'll bluff him off any better hand and he's called 2 streets so if he calles river...max value.
hand 3 yes i only bet 1/2 pot on flop as i'm against 3 players i've only got top pr q kicker so need to feel where i am.
yes i should have put in a value bet on river maybe,but i was worried if he shoved what do i do,so hence my check,
still happy taking down that size pot atm. lol
For hand 3 (and all hands), you wanna be sizing your c-bet dependent on the board texture (bet more when it's wet). This kinda board smashes a range to just flat call pre, not in terms of them having better hands, but things KJ, KT, QT, JT, JT, Q9, QJ, all them kinda middling hands have either got a pair, pair + draw, or just a draw, and then you've got all the FDs on top of that. If they're gonna call with all these hands that are behind (likely) then we wanna make them make as big a mistake as possible.
If someone is making a little mistake calling 1/2 pot with X equity, then they're making an even bigger mistake calling 3/4 pot. The bigger their mistakes, the more moniez we win.
got it.
i was just unsure v 3 opponents best line to take but get what u r saying 3/4 is better tham 1/2 pot.
won £7.22
b/roll £279.94
c4p 1419 = £14.19 to come
2 tables nl10
got off to another bad start, loose player was going aipf alot so i eventually picked up 99 and called him...
ha shows 10 10. aaaagh what can you do.
it was only a 1/2 an allin i lost £4 odd hence my call.
anyway from there on played solid abc stuff.
hit my 33 to make trips twice actually which both won me some reasonable money.
all in all very happy with another win to follow on from y'day.

lost £14.46
b/roll £265.48
c4p 1501 = £15.01 to come
2 tables nl10
played bad ran bad not much else to say.
i can't control the run but i'm finding it difficult at the moment controlling my emotions and therefore my decision making when i get these sessions.
i was down about £25 for most of the session but managed to pull some back at the end.
i'm still going to continue playing nl10 for as long as i can and am enjoying the journey,and the learning process.

You must be putting in some pretty sick volume to have 1.5k points btw from pretty much only 4NL.
Keep your head up, don't let any of the results make you change the things you know to be correct like 3x'ing pre etc. Don't start to think 'oh I never hit sets, so I'm gonna stop limping small PPs' or 'I never get there with my draws so I'm gonna start just check/calling instead of them playing them aggresively'. Play the way you know is correct and if you're playing well, it'll turn round.
Something to remember... even if you absolutely crush the cash tables, you're probably only gonna have winning sessions maybe as high as 60% of the time. Which means every single time you sit down, you have to acknowledge there's an almost 50% chance you're going to lose. Don't go in expecting to obviously, you should always go in positive but you will have nearly as many losing sessions as you do winning ones. The key is to win alot more in your winning ones than you lose in your losing ones.
Just to let you know paul mate. Dev had a £70 losing sess at 10nl last week aswell.
Also mate if your only winning 60% of the time paul PM me mate cos we need to work on your game lol
That's what I heard with regards to winning/losing sessions. Tbh, I keep track on my spreadsheet and think I've won about 80% of sessions since I started tracking it again but figured that was probably better than normal.
TBH mate i was just winding you up
I would say 70-80% would be more like it but somewhere in that ball park.
FWIW i win about 23-25 days in each month on average
i always try and tell it as i see it,and posting after losing sessions is always going to be emotional,so i probably should leave it untill the next day really,but the quicker it's done the quicker i can learn from it and move on.
it was only £15 i lost and being honest it could have been more.
i made some mistakes and had a few bad beats but i guess we all get them and i'll have to try and find a better way of dealing with it.
